While some prefer the comforts of an interior church setting, others appreciate the spirituality of nature. In an effort to connect with such folks, St. Mary’s Church in Barnstable has created a new way to worship.

Dubbed the “Common Cathedral,” St. Mary’s will begin hosting weekly non-denominational services each Sunday on the green adjacent to Town Hall, known as both South Street Green and Ruth Rusher Park.

According to organizer Hilary Greene, the “Common Cathedral” idea was born in Boston when Debbie Wyman, an Episcopal priest, began holding outdoor services on Boston Common.

Greene said the goal of the Hyannis event is similar.

“The goal is to invite everybody who might be there,” she said. “People who wander by, homeless people, whoever. It attracts everybody.”

Greene said that while hosted by an Episcopal church, the services will have a broader focus.

“It’s part of St. Mary’s Church in Barnstable,” she said. “We’re trying to reach out to the community and not just stay in our little enclave. We want to be a bigger part of the community. It’s not an Episcopal service. It’s for everybody.”

The outdoor services will be held each Sunday at the green beginning at 3 p.m.

“We’ll be out there each week,” said Greene. “Through snow, through sleet, rain, whatever.”
